Okay, so that's pretty obvious. But here's what the research found or basically validates. In men, chronic anxiety can significantly increase the risk of a heart attack. This simply means that heart disease may not just be associated with poor diet and lack of exercise. The research adds to the list yet another psychological profile that should be considered as a possible indicator. We already knew that depression, anger, hostility, and Type A behavior may be potential threats for heart disease. Now, chronic anxiety is added to that list.

You get the picture? People who can't seem to relax or stop sweating the small stuff are putting themselves in real danger. Couple that with lack of exercise and poor nutrition and you have a recipe for real health troubles.

So then we have medicine. It frequently is about treating the physical side to do things like lower a patient's blood pressure or cholesterol to prevent disease. But now more experts are becoming concerned with taking a look at the psychological aspect to make sure the patient has proper care there too. What's going on in your head can make you physically sick.

The Associated Press reports that the conclusions come from using data from a national aging study. Biing-Jiun Shen a psychologist at the University of Southern California estimated the impact that anxiety has on the heart.
